In order to get APNs certificate for being a provider of push notification for an app, do I need to pay ?

There are very poor instructions or how to create the certificate. The instructions are nice for creating

of CSR etc. But no where is there any information of what type of developer you should be to get this.

 

One outside link unrelated to apple says you should be an enterprise developer and paying

$299/year !!! for this.

This really and totally ***** and apple is just looting if that's a requirement.

They can charge this for enterprises or companies. I am an individual user and would like to

just have some push notifications sent using my own home server.

 

If I go to https://identity.apple.com/pushcert/ (which redirects to another page prompting for login)

and I login with my free developer account, it says that your apple ID must be associated with

an email address etc (which is a wrong/irrelevant message).

 

Does anyone know how to get a push certificate ?

Is payment required absolutely ? Or can it be done without paying ?

If payment is required, how do we encourage or make apple make it free ?

iPads being sent back---no Firefox capability!

Why has Apple blocked Mozilla developers from placing the most popular browser in the world, Firefox, app on iPad?

 

Common sense would seem to indicate that more iPads would be sold if they had the capability of running the most popular browsers.

 

 

Thanks!

Re: iPads being sent back---no Firefox capability!

Guys, sorry about my rude subject line!!!

 

Actually, We love our iPad2's(what's not to love!), and have no intention of sending them back!

 

My post seems to have been more of a rant, or worse, a WHINE!!!  LOL

 

 

Thanks for any constructive advice.

What learning curve?

Safari for iOS is simple to use.

No manual required.

Resign from being the first responder for the NSFontmanager

Hi All,

 

I have preference window ( accessed thruough preferences menu) where I let the user set the font and color for text displayed in my main window. This all works fine, as I have overidden the ChangeFont method.  Here is the code I have used:

 

    // request to display the font panel, received from the preference window

- (IBAction)displayFontPanel:(id)sender{

   

    NSFontManager *fontManager = [NSFontManager sharedFontManager];

             

    NSFontPanel *fontPanel = [fontManager fontPanel:YES];

    [fontManager setTarget:self];

    [fontPanel makeKeyAndOrderFront:sender];   

}

 

    // font change : received when font is changed in the preference window

- (void)changeFont:(id)sender {

     

    titleFont = [sender convertFont:titleFont];

    [self UpdatePrefWindow :titleFont];

    [self appPreferences:updatePlist];

}

 

The issue  now is that all other text fields and text views in my main window are not able to receive the changeFont message. What I am trying to do is to resign from being the first responder once the preference window is deactivted and become the first responder again when it is achitvated.  Any ideas.

 

Thanks
